California nonprofit director arrested for diverting $23M in homeless aid to luxury expenses.
Alexander Soofer, 42, executive director of the California nonprofit Abundant Blessings, was arrested on federal wire fraud charges after allegedly diverting more than $23 million in government funds intended to help homeless people for personal luxury expenses.
Prosecutors claim he spent the money on a $7 million home, a luxury vehicle, private school tuition, travel, and high-end shopping, while participants received only basic meals such as ramen and canned beans.
Authorities claim he falsified documents, formed a fictitious board of directors, and misrepresented payments to conceal the scheme.
The case, which is part of a larger federal effort to combat corruption in homelessness funding, raises concerns about oversight of public spending.
Soofer could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
